An immediate result Of the meeting
was the feeding of the prisoner, several
members of the party flying to the
ocean and returning with fish in their
claws. 1t was easily seen, however,
that the nearness of the tree to the
house and the lowness of the branches
on which the wounded bird crouched
caused the greatest anxiety, and even
after the invalid's hunger was satisfied.
the other birds kept flying away in
parties, while others still perched
on the trees, and seemed to be awaiting
the messengers return. 1t was so evil
dent that some plan had been made
that number of ladies brought their
needlework out into the orchard and
stayed waiting to see what was going
to be done. The hawks were very
quiet all day, except that the sufferer
uttered an occasional sound as it moved
uneasily in its leafy bed. while the
watchers replied in low, soothing
tones, as if with words of pity or en-
enlargement. Toward sunset single

other and another; chattering began,
and the excitement increased as the
messengers kept returning in twos and
threes. The wounded bird raised itself
as much as possible from the branch,
and seemed joyfully expectant.
while the others flew around it gayly.
Soon loud tapping overhead was
heard, flock of hawks appeared, and
in their midst giant hawk-a bird
much larger and stronger than any Of
the rest. For few moments it perched
upon the topmest branch of the tree,
then started up and began circling
about, coming lower, nearer to its
wounded brother, until, suddenly
swooping, it grasped the latter in its
claws, and raising him gently from the
bough, scared away with him triumph
antly. The other hawks followed, leav-
ing the spectators overwhelmed with
establishment. They did not doubt that
the hawk was being carried to some
safe, retired spot, where he could be
fed and waited on until his wound
healed. Golden Days.

teton MONTEM."
A Profitable Institution of the Old FL
glish school.

A Profitable Institution OF the Old En-
glish School.
Any old Eton boy would tell you thai
you might as we'll never have been born
as not to know about Montem. Why
Montem was as old as Queen Eliza
| beth's time, and Queen Victoria was
very sorry to have to consent to have il
broken up. The senior colleger wa:
captain of Montem, and he sometimes
made f1.O0O out of it.
On the morning of Montem day, the
captain gave a great breakfast in the
hall to the fifth and sixth forms. Then
the boys marched twice around the
school yard, the ensign waved
the great flag, the corporals drew
their swords, and the procession
started through the Playing Fields to
Salt Hill. in a long line. accompanied
by two or three regimental bands. The
officers wore red tail coats, white
trousers, cooked hats with feathers and
regimental boots; and the lower boys
wore blue coats with brass buttons,
white waistcoats and trousers, silk
stockings and pumps. and carried slen-
der white poles. But before this, long
before sunrise. the salt-bearers and
their twelve assistants had gone, some
on foot and some in gigs. to their
places on the great roads leading to
Eton, to beg salt from every body
they met. Salt meant money; and
every body had to give them salt.
George III. and Queen Charlotte al
ways gave fifty guineas apiece. The
money went to the captain at
Montem, to help him pay his
expenses at the university to
which he was to 60 after leaving Eton.
The salt-bearers carried satin money
bags and painted slaves. and as re-
ceipts for the salt that they secured
they gave little printed tickets with the
date of the year, and Latin motto.
Every body went to Montem. King
George always used to go, and Queen
Victoria went. There was always a
''Montem poet who dressed in patch
work. and wore crown; and he drove
about the crowd in a donkey-cart, re-
citing his ode and flourishing copies OF
it for sale.
When the procession came to the top
of Salt Hill, the ensign waved his flag
second time, and that ended the cele-
bration; only the boys and the visitors
all went to the inns at Windsor for a
big dinner.-Edwin d. Mead, in st.
Nicholas.

Origin Of Meteorites.

Prof. Richard A. Proctor maintains
that most of the meteor streams with
which the earth comes in contact are
derived from the earth itself; that is.
thrown off by volcanic action at a
time when the internal forces of our
planet were sufficiently active to give
the initial velocity. some twelve
miles a second, requisite to carry
them beyond the earth's attraction.
Comets. which he regards as the par
ents of the meteor streams, he thinks
may have originated outside our solar
system. Most of the comets whose
orbits belong to our system. he thinx>
originated in larger planets. The sun
is now, perhaps, giving birth frequently
to comets which probably pass beyond
the limits of its attraction. Industrial

GOOD IN ALL.

A Story Of the Plain Nightingale, with His
Beautiful Voice, and the Gorgeous Pea
coc<, with His HOrrid CrOak.
On E broad green lawn, before a
white marble terrace covered with
flowers. a magnificent peacock was en-
joying the sunshine one summer morn
ing. His breast was of the loveliest
bright purple, and his tail was all full
of green and goden eyes. He fancied
Mat nobody in the whole world was OF
such consequence as himself. Presently
a nightingale in search of his break
fast flew down to seek worms on the
lawn. He had been singing all the
night long to his mate, who was sitting
on their nest close ny. And he felt
very hungry indeed. So he tugged
busily at the worms just peeping above
ground.
What a mean-looking, addressed
creature you arer' said the peacock
haughtily, and regarding the nightin-
gale with great contempt. Il wonder
you dare show yourself on this splendid
lawn; and in my presence, too.--get
away at Once!'
''When l have finished my break
fast said the nightingale. Il shan't
be long. My wife is sitting yonder in
the hawthorne thicket, on four of the
loveliest brown eggs you ever saw in
your life. l must make haste back to
her. poor thing, or know she will feel
very lonely"
'DOn't talk to me about your stupid
brown eggs retorted the peacock with
supreme disdain; ''you are quite be-
neatl my notice; get away! won't be
seen talking to you"
And he spread his gorgeous tail out
like fan. and showed himself off with
great many airs.
Providence does not give all its
good gifts to one" replied the nj ghtin-
gale. "You are splendid to look at;
but Your voice is as bad as donkey's,
and sets peoples teeth on edge. l am
sober looking enough, but my voice
makes amends for that. Hush! don t
often sing by day; but listen!''
And he trilled forth such a shower
of sweet, clear. thrilling notes that
made the woods echo again. The
peacock was astonished, and gaped
stupidity at the speaker.
''There!'' said the nightingale; II
don't want to show off. but l wanted to
prove to you that all the good qualities
in the world do not belong to one per-
son alone. Take my word for it, there
is some good in everybody, if we only
look for it in the right place. And
away he flew, leaving the peace OK a
good deal ashamed of himself. Ashley

Cow He Rescued q Suffering Bird from

A party of summer visitors at Ell

surprised at the sagacity of flock of
fish.hawks. One of these birds. being
mistaken for a barnyard robber, was
shot at while perching on the top branch
of q tree The ball struck the bird on
his wing. and he dropped. fiuttering
and screeching, from bough to bough,
until he contrived to clutch at a strong
forked branch and rested there. All
day long he sat- uttering piercing
screams, and the next morning was
found to have gathered round him a
large circle of hawks. probably his
friends and relatives, who seemed
to be holding a council. Each in

FOR OUR YOUNG READERS
THEIR REVENGE.

Twas ave o'clock one winter day,
Lessons were over. school was done,
And laughing, chattering, full of fun,
group Of schoOl-bOys sped away,
Joyous at leaving work for play.
Then, as though striving hard to shun
Their gay companions, three boys sought
quiet corner hid from sight
And talked in whispered words, half caught,
Somewhat to this effect:
"You're right
Jones is a sneak! what made him go
Andtell old Doctor Robinson
That you and Jack and had done
That ugly drawing meant TO show
The doctor minus the red wig
That covers up his bald old patef
OF course we do not care fig
For punishment: at any rate,
A hundred lines apiece to write
Well knock them OF this very night
But Jones-how best to pay him Oute
That is the thing to think about"
81 tell you what it is said Jack,
'Tve got plan to pay him back.
Directly after tea tonight
We three will hide-there'll be no light
At one end OF the corridor;
And. when Jones passes. seize hina tight,
Blindfold and gag him, all before
There S time Tor MIN 10 make d souuO.
Then having him all firmly bound,
Well carry HIM up stairs at once,
And toss him in a blanket,
That he won't peach again, know,
Or I'm Ounce"
"Agreed, agreedr' his comrades said;
swell have him ere we go to bed"'
The plan conceived was carried out.
That night the three stood silently,
The shadows hiding them from view
Where Jack had said, and just about
The time when Jones would pass, they knew
ssHe's coming now, know his tread!
Re -eady both to hold his head
And gag his mouth, while will seize
and hold him firmly by the knees!"
The plot was good All happened right,
And soon the prisoner, gagged and bound,
Was gayly borne into the light,
When 10, it wasn't Jones, they found!
They'd caught-with horror be it said
Oh Doctor Robinson instead
Tell you what happened then? Now why?
You surely know as well as L

Self shness as irritating as the grasp

indulging in the audible sniff or sheer

there be, on every occasion where the
indulgence is possible, selfshness
that shows q consciousness of the value
of no ones views but ones own, and
treats the individuality of all others
with contempt. A similar selfshness

fence of keeping the engagement, and

wait while servants grow impatient
and unwilling, and eyes grow tired
with watching and ears with listening,
just as much as the almost precisely
opposite selfishness insists upon
the keeping of such promises and
engagements even to the point of posi-
tive discomfort and injury to the other
party, who perhaps can not keep them
without such injury, and could be ex-
cused by one with any unselfish care.
One would find it hard to come to the
end of statement of these small acts of
selfishness which infest the household
and hurt it through burning sense of
the injustice done by them; and it is a
question if, with the present imperfec-.
ton of human nature, we shall ever
quite escape them; they are as count
less as gnats in swarm, and as vexa-
tious. There is but one way to abate
their nuisance, and that is by fire.
